The Future of STAR WARS
Rumors have been circulating like wildfire around the recent Lucasfilm Star Wars summit. We told you about it here. Now, supposedly, a spy for Ain’t It Cool News has attended the summit and leaked the following information.
According to the spy, the Star Wars timeline will be as follows:
Now: The Clone Wars animated series on Cartoon Network
September 2004: Original trilogy released on DVD
January 2005: Episode III teaser advertising begins.
May 2005: Episode III in theaters.
November 2005: Episode III DVD
2006: Two television ideas are being considered, one live-action, one animated.
The spy also supposedly saw some Episode III footage: “Some cool as hell stuff. Anakin is looking darker than ever. Dark clothes, with what appears to be some scars on his face. They showed one scene with Obi-Wan, The Emperor and Anakin crashing their ship into a planet as the ship burns.They showed some animation of what will be OB1’s transportation at one point in the film. A large lizard that’s able to walk upside down and scale walls. [minor spoilers] Oh - and they showed some green screen footage of the final lightsaber fight between Obi-Won and Anakin… It looked colossal. The lightsaber fight to end all lightsaber fights. Evil wins, we all know that. The intensity with which the two were fighting was phenomenal. Seems the final battle takes place on a lava planet, and at one point the two are hoping back and forth on hovercrafts floating over the lava.”
While the information definitely sounds like it could be accurate, take it all with a grain of salt. Consider the source.
